Adoption

Adoption

If you're not ready or able to be a parent, adoption can be a positive solution for you and your baby. You can research adoption without obligation and find out that adoption isn't "giving your baby away."

"I don't want someone I don't know to raise my baby."

With open adoption, you can choose from dozens of approved families waiting to adopt. You can get to know the family before your baby is born and decide how you want to keep in touch after the adoption. You can even plan future visits with your baby and the adoptive family, if you would like.

"I couldn't handle wondering about my baby the rest of my life."

With an open adoption, you have the opportunity to always know how your baby is doing. If you want, you can choose a family who will keep in touch with you through pictures, letters, email, websites, phone calls, or even visits. The contact arrangement of your adoption can change over time with your comfort level. Your baby can know who you are and how she was given a life through your loving choice of adoption.

"I can't tell my family."

You can make a confidential adoption plan. Only the adoption professionals you trust, the adoptive family you choose and the loved ones you include will know about your pregnancy and your plans. If needed, you could even relocate temporarily to keep your situation private.

"I can't afford a pregnancy."

Adoption services are FREE to you. If your insurance doesn't pay for medical care, you can get your pregnancyrelated expenses covered through the adoption process. When choosing adoption, it is also possible to get help with other expenses during pregnancy, if allowable by your state law.

"I don't want to deal with the father or worry about his role in the baby's life."

With adoption, you can separate from your baby's father and provide a positive father figure for your baby's future. Your baby's father could also participate in the adoption process if you agree, and can take part in future communication with the adoptive family you choose, even if you don't want to stay in touch.

Safe Haven - A Loving Choice for Women Now that Roe's been reversed, and abortion regulations return to the states, what options are there for women who didn't make plans for adoption and can't keep their baby? Every state has "Safe Haven Laws" which allow women to surrender their baby at designated safe haven providers right after birth. This option releases the mother from all legal and financial responsibilities. Knowing that you gave your child life instead of death is a better solution for you both.
